Crochet MESH crop top Tutorial FOR BEGINNERS

[@Lucien-si5yx]

For the blocked part, if it’s too gappy or you want more coverage, you can just do linked double crochet! Keeps the stitches super tight and makes a nice effect.

[@sarahortiz315]

This top is everything! Thanks for the video, most of all thanks for the inspiration. U rock!

[@kathryngeisler4787]

Im doing this pattern right now and am on my second one. CHAIN 2 instead of 3 or else it will kind of curve. And just do your bust measurement, not bigger. I’m pretty skinny and am a C cup so I made it my bust measurement and it’s not too loose around my ribs if that makes sense

[@livtully]

Hi, you’d want to make your chain big enough to get over your bust. Then continue with the pattern. If you want you can’t message me on instagram and I can try help more :)

[@Tatianaduhh]

IM SO MAKING THIS

[@indibp]

Love it! I’m making it with the shorts! But ill add both shoulder straps, because I need a little more support! Thank you!! ❤

[@izzymcgill2082]

OBSESSED with this top! can’t wait to make it 🥳🥳🥳

[@chevalsport249]

Incroyable ce top ! Merci pour le tutorial

[@cryats6669]

This tutorial is great!!! Just learn from my mistakes, and don’t do more than like half an inch bigger than your bust measurement at the beginning! Also I highly recommend following what she says when she decreases stitches in the solid part of the shirt. :)

[@livtully]

Also if you need more help message me on instagram.

[@MelissaMaria-pr6dj]

I did nog get that part. Where should I decrease?

[@Velveeta-Cheese]

@@MelissaMaria-pr6dj I’m making it now, and she started with a 160 stitches on the very first row, and said here 8:24 that she did about 150 double crochets for the boob part - so, I’m going to do what I assume she did, and decrease 10 times, equidistantly, *only* on the first round of double crochets. It should work up similarly to hers there onwards. I’ll let you know if it turns out as expected or not lol 😭

[@ntandoyam9787]

I'm definitely making this one

[@checaorezzoli2206]

YESS THANK YOU QUEEN!!!

[@signebagge3545]

Love the top and your tutorial!! but I have a few questions...💜 How much bigger than the actual bust measurement would you make the chain? And around 7:26 you talked about decreasing stitches or skipping... How do you do that? and when? I hope this makes sense 🤷🏻‍♀

[@livtully]

Hey, so I would make it big enough so it’s easy to get over your boobs. When decreasing you can either skip a stitch ( so when working the first row of solid double crochet, instead of working into the next consecutive stitch just skip it and go into the next stitch) or you can decrease where you’ll put your needle through the stitch catch the yarn on the other side and pull it through & then start the next single crochet- you should have 3 loops on your needle & from there you’ll just Finnish your 2 unfinished single crochet like a double crochet ( pull through 2 loops, pull through 2 loops until there’s one loop left.) you don’t have to decrease in every stitch though. I hope this makes sense 🤍

[@whoisshe2002]

Can you please get a tutorial Juliette corset crochet pattern?

[@blossom5]

This top is so cute! I do have a question, so I know that you said the first initial chains should be enough to fit around your bust. What do you suggest for someone who has a bigger bust but a smaller waist because I made the chains enough to fit around my bust just like you had mentioned but then once I get it down to my waist, it’s like really big, so how do I make it so around my waist it’s a little bit more tighter and formfitting But it accommodates my bust lol I don’t know if that makes any sense.

[@livtully]

Ahhhh I wish I could reply with a voice note. Basically you could do the original pattern, when it comes to you waist Maybe do a double crochet , chain 2( instead of 3) for a few rows - until you get to your bust, then a row or 2 before your start the double crochet to cover the boob, do chain 3 & also on the first row of double crochets You could add stitches here and there to increase

[@blossom5]

@@livtully ahhhh ok that makes sense!!! I’ll give that a shot! Thank you so much 🩷🫶🏽

[@vusxed3409]

i followed your pattern however bc of my chest part being bigger than my waist the mesh part is looser there how can i get it to a tighter fit ? thank uu!!

[@alejandramendez3656]

Hi! I would recommend decreasing your stitches on the waist area 😊

[@karlaferrer903]

Hi same thing happened to me I just kept decreasing and trying it on

[@franciscafrancis712]

Wow thanks for sharing love

[@caro.soundhealing]

Woooow it looks amazing! I can’t wait to crochet it ❤️‍🔥❤️🥰👌🏼 thank you!

[@gemmawortley4352]

how do you get your crotcheting to stop like curling

[@ohminista]

don't overtighten the chain 😊

[@babydaphne7012]

When I start adding the mesh the top gets wider .. so it’s tight at bottom but it gets wider when it should be the other way round x.x what am I doing wrong

[@livtully]

Hi, the only thing I could think of is that you are not chains enough in between the stitches that you skip or vise versa. If you want you can message me on Instagram and I can try explain a bit better

[@junimondin]

Oh, that is realy cool! Thank you 💟

Such a cute pattern can’t wait to make. Do you have an recommendations for yarn around this size? I can’t find the shade from the brand you used.

[@livtully]

Hi, I would use cotton. Maybe 2ply/4ply? I’m not so sure

[@averymurray925]

@@livtully thank you! I ended up getting a good yarn it is a bit more of a true blue red though. Thank you.

[@arazavrou6748]

I was wondering if anyone tried this pattern by making 2 panels instead of one that goes around the waist. I usually end up making them too big when working around.

[@foxtriviaquiz]

hi, would you care if I shared your photo in a video on my other channel to link it back to your video? I wouldnt show the pattern or video just the photo? thanks :)

[@livtully]

Yes sure Xx

[@lilasilvaespinosa6407]

Gracias por el tutorial paso a paso❤

[@lena-m4n7e]

I really like this top but I have a question, because the chain that I made in the beginning fits around my bust but the more I crocheted the part with the gaps it got bigger. So now the first chain is smaller than the part around my bust( only just began) is that normal and it will even out the more I crochet or did I do something wrong? ( I even skipped several stitches )

[@noemiechan9510]

Hi I just started this pattern too and it does the same thing for me. I think it does that because we chain 3 and then skip only 2 so overall it increases the size. I would recommend to chain 2 and skip 2, so it compensates and doesn't increase in size. Hope it helps :)

[@lena-m4n7e]

@@noemiechan9510 Thank you so much, that makes sense, I will just make it tighter in the beginning

[@noemiechan9510]

@@lena-m4n7e Yeah and than maybe you can chain 3 one or two rows before the overing part so it can follow the shape of your body. Good luck ☻

[@PurpleStripedNarwhal]

How much bigger than the actual bust measurement would you make the chain?

[@adindabehr8026]

Started this top but it’s not stretchy at all. I want it to fit my waist but I can’t do that bc if I wanna wear it I have to dislocate my entire uppermost to get in. No hate love, I’m very invested in this top, I just need some help cuz I’m not a pro.

[@livtully]

I completely understand. It’s very frustrating but I think your issue may lie at that first row.

[@cryats6669]

I have a question. When you decrease stitches in the coverage part, do you only decrease on the first row? And do you skip every other stitch for the whole row?

[@livtully]

Yeah, I just skipped every other stitch. I wasn’t like super precise. I’m quite flare chested so I did a fair amount of skipping stitches on that first row. But if you need more space just skip less. Also if you want to skip I would recommend only working into the chains and skip pillar double crochet. I’m not sure if I’m making any sense …

[@taelormajors6892]

I get it to fit the waist but the more I crochet upwards, the bigger it is as I get up to the part by my chest. Did you decrease in the mesh?

[@livtully]

Hey, I didn’t deacrease the mesh. If you find it’s getting bigger( which I don’t really know how) maybe try chaing 2 instead of 3. Or if you doing the coverage part and don’t want that so big maybe don’t go into every single chain, go into 2 of the chains or alternate between crocheting 3 & 2 chains( I don’t know if this makes any sense?)

[@mishakhan8886]

@@livtully same with me! the mesh part is snug but when i start doing the coverage part, it gets very wide despite following your pattern. im using cotton yarn and i finish each row of the coverage part with a slip stitch and ch 2 but it looks like im adding stitches but im not. i would like the coverage part to be covered so i wouldn't want to skip every other stitch :'(

[@livtully]

@@mishakhan8886 it doesn't go see through though.... because I tried it with the white one that made and it worked

[@NephtysLXXXVI]

A bit late, I think the reason for that could be that she ist chaining 3 before the double crochet but only skipping 2 stitches. The double crochet counts also as 1 stitch. The correct way would be to skip as many stitches as chains you make. I have the same problem now

[@spoozle4448]

hey, could you show us how many stitches you decreased? I decreased some and the shoulder part doesnt fit then.

[@livtully]

So for the decrease, it’s just a simple pattern ( I never decreased any stitches). So instead of chaining 6 ( which would make the edge straight) I chained 3 ( which causes the one side of the shoulder to go in). I repeated that pattern. In which way is yours not fitting?

[@spoozle4448]

@@livtully its starting on the area where the boobs get covered. its too loose

[@alenajarro7240]

Thank youuuuuu 💗💗💗💗💗

[@anaisparra5038]

Is it stretch ? Because I made a top few months ago but it wasn’t stretch at all so I couldn’t put it..

[@livtully]

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘stretch’ but it should have a bit of stretch in it because of the that is used in the pattern. But the non stretchyness of the top would be the chain and the first row because we single crocheted in every stitch. If you want it to be stretchy maybe avoid doing the row of single crochets and go straight into the pattern. I hope this makes sense 🤷🏻‍♀️
